BEWARE! "One set on" solution is NOT, repeat NOT radio.

This clue is the location of the N misprinted letter needed to make the third from last letter of the fish which was thought to be extinct.

one = I, set on = TAR. Reverse both and add O for over

the misprint is in SITE

This all eventually makes much more sense with the addition of the penultimate letter N of the 9 letter extinct Tasmanian wolf.

One set ... RATIO. Misprint SINE

Thank you turast.

Parsing was difficult so "set" meant radio to some of us.

As you say, wrong!

I've finished, although I cannot find a tool called a DIV, assuming that is the intended answer.

For anyone still working through this, and with ref to an earlier post, although it could be said that SPAN goes below the 7-letter answer in the last row but one, I would say that it goes at the end of it.

The thematic entries had a nice symmetry to them but I'd only heard of one of them.

I think a Div is a tool in the sense that a tool is an idiot, a fool. Div= fool is in Chambers. I could be wrong!
